Starting from the last and working backwards:
As wims mentioned, the 'matches found' should be a well placed text box instead.
Now for the search options:
Currently, the way searching works is that the input text is treated, for all intents and purposes, as though its wrapped in *'s: *example*. Equating to it matching ANY occurrence of the word, regardless of case.
What I'd like to see is the following options:
- Match any occurrence (radio): Uses the current search methodology
- Match whole words only (radio): matches at spaces/newlines
- Wildcard Match (radio): Wildcard match
- Regex Match (radio): Regex match; implied global switch.
- Case Sensitive (Check Box)
